Re: OC Fair

Has anyone been contacted by the OC Fair? I got an email saying You have placed first in Division 624 Class C of the beer competition ..... :mrgreen: Nothing about my other entries. It seemed like they didn't say much before the Fair about red and white ribbon winners. So, there may be hope. Yester...

Re: May Meeting 5/18/10 @ Addison HB Provisions in Fullerton

Very nice! I'm actually thinking that the BJCP scoresheets would be for getting us all used to using the BJCP format for our club competition. I think that while people are used to seeing them on the receiving end as a competitor, most have not really used them as judges. The idea is that by getting...

Re: May Meeting 5/18/10 @ Addison HB Provisions in Fullerton

Great Meeting! Eric, thank you for hosting this. I like the idea of a permanent "home" for the club meetings as it allows for better scheduling of any special demos, specific style presentations or one-offs as the club deigns appropriate. I liked the format we used in this meeting. I like ...

Re: mead bottling

Dark green wine bottles are what I use. They're more of a green-brown color. I use cork closures most of the time except when I'm in a hurry and don't have time to properly apply the corks, then I use crown caps on brown, 22-ounce bottles. Clear is fine if you're not going to keep them anywhere near...

Re: mead bottling

I don't recommend the flip tops except for transporting or for a couple of days. Crown caps or corks are both better.

You'll have to have a low finishing gravity to carbonate your mead naturally and I generally use honey and yeast to prime when I do.

Re: mead bottling

You'll want to get the 187 ml splits that will take a crown cap. They sell them as champagne bottles.
